Moxie Fab World Challenge: Card Play

Check out the Card Play challenge details over at Moxie Fab World, if you want to play along! :-)

Here are two layouts I recently made, both of which are about (and incorporate) playing cards.  In the first, the cards house the title.  They are part of the focal point of the layout, because I don't have any pictures from my childhood of playing cards at my grandmother's house.  (The playing cards were scavenged from a deck that got spilled all over the cellar.  Sometimes you get inspired while you're doing the laundry -- ha, ha.)  The second layout is all about my daughter playing cards with her grandparents -- our Uno deck contained some cards that are blank on the other side, so I was able to use actual cards on the layout.

December Daily, Day 3

The left page: the "B" side of a Graphic 45 paper (the one with The Night Before Christmas on the front), an ornament die cut from cardstock with a Papertrey Ink die, sentiment from Vintage Ornaments stamp set (PTI), distress ink, glitter sticker from Making Memories

The right side: done digitally with an Ali Edwards template from Designer Digitals (modified for the pictures I wanted to use), and Cosmo Cricket digital paper in the background (available at JessicaSprague.com)

I've been having a good time during the first week of Use Your Stash with May Flaum over at Big Picture Scrapbooking.  I've got certain things I'm hoping to use quite a bit of -- buttons and a specific line of patterned paper that I bought the whole line of (and now I'm finding it a bit too bright and busy to use often enough).

December Album: Ornament Layout

I was inspired by Lain Ehmann's posts this week on Write, Click, Scrapbook.  She wrote:  "There is only done and not done -- perfection doesn't exist."

I'm putting together an album for December 2009 and did this whole layout this evening. (Thanks for the encouragement, Lain!)

 

Supplies: card stock (green: Bazzill Basics; white: Recollections); watermark ink (Versamark); Vintage Ornaments stamps (Papertrey Ink); Thickers letters, Flair button, chipboard tree and ornament (all American Crafts Merrymint collection)
